Mexico City bullring to host Roger Federer-Alexander Zverev tennis match

India TV News  

For 73 years, Mexico City's Plaza de Toros bullring has hosted hundreds of bullfights, but on Saturday it will become a tennis court, as Roger Federer faces Germany's Alexander Zverev. It will be Federer's first time in Mexico, in a career that has seen him win 20 Grand Slam titles. Raul Zurutuza, the director of Mextenis — which organizes Mexico's Acapulco and Los Cabos tennis tourneys — was happy to see the Swiss player in Mexico. “This is an achievement, because we know that it would be hard to get Roger back here as an active player, because he has his tournament schedule,” Zurutuza said.
